Effect of Temperament, Anxiety and Depression on Immuninity in Colorectal Cancer Patients.

Trial Information

Effect of Temperament, Anxiety and Depression on Immuninity in Colorectal Cancer Patients.

120 prospective patients, with non-metastatic colorectal cancer, will be evaluated with
questionnaires and auto-questionnaires in order to assess temperament, anxiety and
depression. The immunity status will be assessed by a blood sample with the aim to evaluate
cell-mediated immunity.

Survivall will be related to level of anxiety/temperament/depression and cell-mediated
immunity.

Univariate and multivariate model analisys will be performed in order to evaluate if
anxiety/temperament/depression and cell-mediated immunity can be considered as prognostic
factors.
